Kerri and list, You will not lose a KeySoft upgrade from performing a 123/SDF or 456/JKL Reset with KeySoft 5.0 and later, especially on the mPower units running 6.1 and later. The reason for this is because the upgrade is now burned into the ROM (Read-Only Memory) image as compared to before where it was stored in the Flash Disk. So, there are no worries there.
As for the 456/JKL Reset, it will clear the registry, Bluetooth settings, memory, and a few other things but no data will be lost, only ones on the KeySoft System disk. As for the 123/SDF Reset, it is to be used for installing Ad-ons such as the Sendero GPS, Way To Go, Oxford Concise Dictionary and Thesaurus and Nemeth Tutorial. All of these ad-ons will be held after this type of upgrade is performed but will return after a no-key reset or a C3 C4 Reset on the PK. So, there is nothing to worry about. The Information that you read/were told pertained to versions of KeySoft prior to 5.1. Also, there will be no lost of data when the unit runs flat as there is with certain other note takers.

In the manual, it says that if you do a 1-2-3 or 4-5-6 reset on a bt, sdf or jkl on a qt, you will lose any unsaved work, of course, but also that you will lose any rom upgrades of keysoft, and I'm not sure about this, but I thought I read that you could lose your ram content. However, I hear people on list saying that you should do a 1-2-3 or 4-5-6 reset for things like clearing virtual memory and also fixing other issues, and there seems to be no worries about backing up files beforehand or about losing a later upgrade. I have ks 7.5.28 now that 28 has come out, but when I got my new braillenote bt upgraded from the classic to the M-power, it came with 7.5.20. So, does this mean that I will only lose 28 since it originally came with 20? In other words, when my classic was working, I had 4.02, but they upgraded the hardware to an M-power, so I am assuming the chips and everything were also upgraded, so I guess I started from scratch except for my display, is this right? So if I had to do one of those resets other than just the reset button, would I only lose 28, which is not a big deal to me. Sorry for the long and drawn out question. I wanted to get all of the details for you. Thanks, Kerri ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
